Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Cuihua's flying knife became a hot topic of conversation among people in the martial arts world.

In addition to the above-mentioned people, there are Li Ashui, Niu Chang and others who are not much weaker. They are all very young and have broken through the Grandmaster realm at around the age of thirty.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh that although Jiang Weichen was dead, the inheritance he left behind eventually created a great force.

Just wait a few years, when this group of people grow up, there will be another leading figure in the world.

In addition to the above-mentioned people, there are many new masters in the world.

The popularization of the Grandmaster-level [Tianlong Heart Method] has finally begun to show results.

With such a huge base, innate warriors continue to emerge, as if the golden age of cultivation is about to come.

But only those at the top know that this is just the last carnival.

……

In midsummer, Qingyun Mountain is all withered and yellow, which makes it look out of tune with the surrounding area. The chaotic reversal of the four seasons makes it a wonder in the world.

After the initial novelty wore off, the people around here had already gotten used to it.

However, it also attracted a large number of people from other places to visit.

The popularity of incense at Qingyun Temple has increased a lot, but the back mountain is still a forbidden area.

Back mountain!

Jiang Weichen sighed deeply. After eight years, his spiritual consciousness had reached a distance of seven hundred feet.

This range exceeds the 300 feet of the Grandmaster's peak by more than 100 feet.

But now it seems to have reached a bottleneck and cannot be further improved.

Jiang Weichen guessed that he was either bound by his physical body, or he had no skills to cultivate his soul.

Although he felt a little regretful that he couldn't improve, he didn't care because he had a vague feeling that if he continued to improve, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing for him.

The body is the boat and the soul is the person in the boat.

Under normal circumstances, the soul and the body are united and complement each other. When one side becomes strong, it will also feed back to the other side, and they grow together.

However, this kind of feedback only works when the gap is not too big. If the gap is too big, the strong party will oppress the weak party.

My impression is that the [Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra] during the Condor Heroes period was just like this. Most of those who achieved success in practicing it went mad and died.

This is probably caused by the imbalance between the soul and the body. Only practicing the essence but not the spirit will eventually make the body too strong but the soul cannot keep up.

But his current situation is just the opposite. His soul is too strong, while his body is still stagnant.

Now his soul is already overweight. If it continues to grow stronger, won’t the ship of physical body sink or become unable to accommodate it?

Therefore, even though his soul could no longer grow stronger, he was not disappointed.

In just eight years, he had digested all of Murong Longcheng's martial arts insights, and even Jiang Weichen had completely digested and comprehended his "compassionate state of mind" to the point of entering the second level.

But in the past eight years, after Ku Rong's state of mind reached the peak of the second level, he was able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth within the range of his spiritual consciousness. Apart from that, he could not make any progress.

He originally wanted to comprehend the essence of the growth and decay of all things and take a step further.

But in the past five years, especially since three years ago, Qingyun Mountain has been thrown into chaos by him, and Duan Siping has taken all the blame, but he has not been able to get any closer.

However, he did not gain nothing. The seasons were reversed, forming a sharp contrast with the outside world.

After leaving his body and observing carefully, he finally realized three years ago that the essence of the growth and decline of all things is actually the changes in the five elements.

In spring, wood is prosperous and fire follows. The wood energy is strong, providing power for the growth of all things, and all things revive and flourish.

In summer, fire and earth are both strong, providing nutrients for all things to flourish.

In autumn, gold is strong and water follows, the golden wind brings coolness, all things wither, and everything is clean and solemn.

In winter, water is strong and wood follows, water vapor descends, it is extremely cold and frozen, and all things are dormant.

Three years ago, observing the changes of the five elements in the four seasons and combining this with his previous understanding of the five elements of the human body in Traditional Chinese Medicine, he finally gained some insights.

Ku Rong's artistic conception did not improve because of this, but he accidentally comprehended the artistic conception of the five elements.

In the next three years, his soul left his body every night, which finally allowed him to comprehend the five elements to the second level.

Now he can mobilize the five elements between heaven and earth through his artistic conception and change the four seasons at will within a small range.

This is just a small effect of the Five Elements. He has a vague premonition that the Five Elements will be of great use to him.

Now, in addition to the artistic conception of killing and the artistic conception of withering and flourishing, he has also comprehended the artistic conception of compassion, the artistic conception of purple sun, and the artistic conception of the five elements.

Among them, the artistic conception of withering and flourishing, the artistic conception of compassion, and the artistic conception of the five elements have all been comprehended to the second level. The artistic conception of withering and flourishing is the deepest, and the other two have just entered the second level.

This achievement is all thanks to the help of the soul-out-of-body experience plug-in.

When his soul leaves his body, he can feel the mood released by others. The feeling is so clear and distinct that it is beyond any explanation in words. He can understand it with just a little bit of thought.

Zhang Ziyang didn't know yet that he had learned the art of communication between him and Duan Siping by releasing his artistic conception.

If Taoist Qingyun knew about this, he would be depressed to death.

"Alas, my soul cannot grow any stronger. I have almost realized what I need to realize. It is time to recover."

Jiang Weichen murmured softly.

At this moment, Duan Siping's voice was heard outside the tomb.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, my life is coming to an end and I will be returning to Tianlong Temple. I have come to say goodbye to you."

He struggled, refused to give up, and even tried frantically to seize the vitality of all things, but it was of no avail.

What limits his lifespan is not the aging of his body, but the aging of his soul and the limit of this realm.

The limit of his realm dictates that if he doesn't break through, his lifespan will only reach 210 years.

Only by breaking through the spirit and soul can he become stronger, and with the withering and flourishing state of mind to maintain the vitality of the body, his lifespan can be increased.

Chapter 459: The Gate of Entry Broken

"Fellow Daoist, you've always felt a sense of urgency, as if you were afraid of death. But why are you so calm now that your final moment has arrived? Could it be that you've already seen through life and death?"

After hearing Duan Siping's words, Jiang Weichen asked.

His voice went straight into Duan Siping's mind.

"Brother Jiang, you think too highly of me. If I had seen through life and death, why would I linger on Qingyun Mountain?" Duan Siping replied somewhat dejectedly.

Although Jiang Weichen released his artistic conception to help him gain insights, he still failed to break through.

Although his comprehension of the artistic conception had deepened, the heaven and earth seemed to be competing with him, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth further declined.

With one increase and one decrease, he made no progress and ultimately failed to win.

During this period, he also tried to make breakthroughs on various famous mountains and rivers.

However, just when the essence, energy and spirit showed signs of coming together, they separated because the amount of true energy absorbed was less than the amount dispersed, and they were unable to continue and were unable to disperse.

"Why is fellow Daoist so calm? Shouldn't he be completely crazy?" Jiang Weichen was puzzled.

Although he had died once in his previous life, and died together with Murong Longcheng, which counted as one time, but those were all serious injuries in a short period of time.

It's different from Duan Siping, who is healthy but sees his end approaching day by day.

The former doesn't have time to think so much, but the latter is a kind of torture to the mind, which is enough to drive people crazy.

In this way, it seems that for ordinary people and those with low levels of spiritual attainment, not knowing the limit of their lifespan is actually a kind of happiness.

"If madness were useful, I would be crazy, but it's useless."

Facing Duan Siping's answer, Jiang Weichen's mind moved, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist, your time is approaching. Could you please tell me your understanding of life and death?"

He vaguely felt that perhaps he could use Duan Siping's insights to see through the mystery of life and death.

Duan Siping didn't know why Jiang Weichen, at such a young age, was so obsessed with life and death, but he still said, "What is life and death? In my opinion, they are just two forms of human existence, like yin and yang, withering and flourishing.

Life is a form, and death is also a form, but we know life because we have experienced it firsthand.

But we don’t know the form of death, because the experience after death is unknown. Because it is unknown, we are afraid. Because we are attached to life and know nothing about death, we are afraid of death.

If the so-called heaven and hell really existed, and people knew that they would go to heaven to enjoy happiness after death instead of suffering in hell, then many people in this world who had no worries would be able to face death calmly, or even choose to die.

“Of course, this is why ordinary people fear death. The reason why I don’t want to die is not because I’m afraid of going to hell, but because I’m unwilling to do so.

After practicing Buddhism for many years, when I chose to remain silent, I was actually no longer afraid of life and death. Even if I died immediately at that time, I would not care.

Because I've come to this world and have experienced everything I should have, I've experienced everything I should have, I've gained power and beauty, and then let them go, and my martial arts skills have reached the top of the world, so I have no regrets. "

“But now, people like Murong Longcheng, Xiaoyaozi, and Zhao Kuangyin have broken through their limits one by one. People who were originally at a similar level have also broken through one by one, but I am the only one left behind. This makes me unwilling. If I die now, won’t I be left with regrets?

I'm not willing to give up, so I want to compete with them and prove that I, Duan Siping, am no worse than them."

At this point, Duan Siping's voice suddenly weakened, and he finally said, "Perhaps, I'm really not as good as them."

"Life is an experience, and death is also an experience... Because I am attached to life, I fear death... experience... experience..."

Jiang Weichen kept murmuring, "If there is no experience of life, no concept of life, no understanding of life, what is the difference between life and death? They are both equally unknown."

As the thoughts flowed, insights surged in my mind, and finally broke through the bottleneck like a torrent.

“The so-called mysteries of life and death are nothing more than the shackles of the mind imposed by the inherent concept of life and death.

Cicadas do not know spring and autumn. They are born in spring and die in summer, or born in summer and die in autumn. How do they know that the four seasons change?

If I didn't know about life and death from the beginning, why would I need to see through life and death?"

"The so-called life and death mysteries do not mean to be indifferent to life and death, or to not care about life or death, but to break through the inherent shackles of the concept of life and death that are rooted in the mind.

Experience, knowledge, and inherent concepts are all summaries of experience and shortcuts, but they are also shackles.

A newborn baby is like a blank piece of paper, not knowing what life and death are, so it does not cling to life nor fear death.

However, when we learn about life and death from the outside world, we become attached to life and afraid of death, which forms shackles within our hearts.

To see through the mysteries of life and death is to break free from the influence of acquired cognition and allow the mind to return to a state of emptiness and spirituality.

He had always been obsessed with life and death, and obsessed with how to see through life and death, but instead he was deeply trapped in it. Now, he suddenly realized it, and the mysterious barrier was broken.

Moreover, his sudden enlightenment actually greatly improved his state of mind. If the soul and body were united, the spiritual power emanating from the heart would definitely increase greatly.

I just don't know if this mental power can allow me to maintain fetal breathing state all day long.

He scanned with his spiritual sense and found that Duan Siping had not received a response for a long time and was already walking towards the front yard in a lonely manner.
